re: Beer Distribution Laws in LA

I work in the distribution business. The three teir system is used by all brands. This prevents the everyday person from being able to walk to the brewery and buy a case of beer. You cannot get yuengling because yuengling does not want to come to LA. once they want to come down they will shop around for a distributor. Then they select the distributor and begin to ship. The distributor is then in charge of putting the brand into the market.
For example, New Belgium brewery just recently started looking into selling in north carolina, virginia, dc, and Maryland. Most distributors made sales pitches to have the rights to carry it. Then New Belgium decides who to give the rights to carry and sell.
Hope this helps.

ok, so basically small crafts just cant meet demand it seems.
i have contacts with Glazer, Southern Eagle, and Crescent Crown (basically the 3 distributors of all beer here).
Could I contact them asking if they could somehow get a beer like Yuengling or is it a lost cause? Because basically Yuengling has to take the step to WANT to be here and then they will contact the distributor?
I ask this because Marcello's in BR will usually take specialty orders as long as you buy like a whole case or something. and im assuming they call an out of state distributor?
just trying to get more facts straight.

Which is bullshite. If a brewery wants to sell directly to me, they should be able to.

What is the purpose of this restriction? I guess I don't see why being able to do that would be a bad thing.

NOLA is working on a permit that will allow them to sell a small percentage of what they brew.
